Mutations that overexpress the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are linked to cancers like breast (15-20%), head and neck (10-15%), colorectal (5-8%), and non-small cell lung cancer (10-50%), especially in East Asian populations. EGFR activation stimulates 'RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK, PI3K/Akt, and MAPK' pathways, which enhance cell division, survival, angiogenesis, and tumour growth while inhibiting apoptosis and metastasis. Secondary mutations (e.

Heart disease is a fatal disease that causes significant mortality rates worldwide. The accurate and early detection of heart diseases is the most challenging task to save valuable lives. To avoid these issues, the Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN) model is proposed that generates synthetic cardiac images.

Hence, fast, reliable, and accurate detection of CP and FZ in food products is of utmost importance. Here, a novel molybdenum disulfide-connected carbon nanotube aerogel/poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) [MoS/CNTs aerogel/PEDOT] nanocomposite materials are constructed and deposited on the pretreated carbon paste electrode (PCPE) by a facile eletropolymerization method.

This case study explores auditory Charles Bonnet syndrome (ACBS) in a 51-year-old male with a history of bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The patient reported hearing recognizable prayer chants, initially perceived as external sounds from a nearby temple.

Monoallelic variants in KCNK18 are known to cause autosomal dominant migraine, with or without aura, susceptibility to, 13 (MIM#613656). Recently, biallelic missense variants in KCNK18 have been reported in three individuals from a non-consanguineous family with intellectual disability, developmental delay, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and seizure.
